What the experts are saying:

Callum Twomey (AFL Media) – “Sydney will get another gun out of their Academy after winning the battle for Blakey ahead of North Melbourne and Brisbane.”

Matt Balmer (Fox Footy) – “Some recruiters you talk to suggest Blakey could’ve been a contender for the No. 1 pick in recent years, and he has shown his class in spades when he has been out on the park in 2018.”
